Had the most magical and beautiful week at Aura!! My time there was so much more wholesome and amazing than I had ever imagined. I got to meet so many incredible people from all around the world and learning about their lives was just phenomenal! Aura is so ecstatic and inspiring and I’m looking forward to being back there soon!!

the most gorgeous space on a serene farm with two of the most lovely hosts and wonderful doggies! Andy is such a great teacher and has many incredible stories to tell over the delicious home cooked meals (where lots of the veggies and mangos are from the garden). There’s plenty of opportunities to expand your creativity and really make the experience your own! you can start the day with yoga, have an afternoon swim in the pool and read a book on the hammocks which are all around the property. A home away from home that you will never want to leave and you will meet the best people in the meantime! ❤️

IG often oversells and under delivers. But every once in a while, if you’re lucky, you may chance upon a true treasure. Aura pottery was such a vibe, full of heart and soul and inspiration! Can’t believe how quickly the week passed and how much it left me wanting for more. The most warm and hospitable hosts, the most wonderful teacher - Andy focused so much on basic building blocks and fundamentals in the beginning that on day three most of us were flying solo! Add to that the lush green environment, the most friendly Dogs, the wholesome and yum food, most of it grown at the farm itself, it was an extremely fulfilling week. Definitely will recommend and would go back for sure. Left a piece of my heart with Fifi and Bono. xxx

The Aura Experience is so much more than a pottery retreat—it’s a peaceful sanctuary where creativity, nature, and community come together beautifully. Andy and Anya have created a warm, welcoming space that encourages freedom of expression and mindful creativity. Working with clay in such a meditative setting is incredibly grounding, and the delicious food, beautiful studio, and lovable dogs make you feel instantly at home. The best part is the wonderful community they’ve nurtured—full of kind, inspiring people who make every visit feel special. I left feeling calmer, more creative, and already looking forward to coming back.

This is THE retreat to be at. Andy and Anya have created a safe haven for anyone who wants a break and rejevunate from the stresses of their daily routines. The ecosystem around is healing - from all the dogs and cats, to little creatures, to the trees, and the interiors - everything serves its purpose bringing you closer to your inner child. The pottery studio and lessons are something that will ask you to slow down. Andy teaches with so much contagious passion and the studio challenges you to bring your visions to life, no matter how unrealistic they might be. You will truly have the best time!

Sometimes, the most beautiful experiences are the ones you never knew you needed. 🌿✨ I came to Aura with zero knowledge of pottery and left with a new skill, a quieter mind, and a heart full of gratitude. From the delicious home-cooked food and the furry companions to the serenity of nature and the warmth of every person I met, everything about this place felt special. But what truly made it unforgettable were Andy and Anya, who welcomed us like family and made us feel at home from day one. A special thank you to Andy for being an inspiring teacher. Every lesson was filled with knowledge, encouragement, and a genuine love for the craft. What I thought would be a week of learning pottery turned into an experience of slowing down, creating with my hands, connecting with wonderful people, and rediscovering the joy of being fully present. Forever grateful for the memories, the learnings, the cute doggos and the people who made this experience so meaningful. Until next time. 🌼🤍

One finds Aura at a time when they most need to disconnect from their everyday life, soak in the goodness and feel again. That’s my personal belief and true to form, Aura came at a similar time in my life and thank god for that. Andy not only patiently teaches you pottery but, life lessons that’ll last one a lifetime. She’s clear in her thoughts, immensely patient and has an eye on each and every student in the course. Aura will teach you humility, patience, love for what you make, to think five steps ahead, to pick yourself up every time you give up and more than anything to experience pure joy. Anya, runs the property and the studio with ease and professionalism that’s hard to come by. Between the two of them, they make this life seem the obvious choice managed with utmost ease and an ever welcoming hug. Your time at Aura will be spent learning, feeling gratitude and building a community that’s hard to come by. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

Being at Aura Pottery has honestly been one of the most fabulous experience of my life. It was the perfect time for this lovely bubble of serenity, creativity, sweetness, this sharing, this beauty, these learnings, these delicious meals,  this great moment of relaxation, meeting Andy and Anya, who are warm, brilliant, funny, and smart, and all the beautiful souls I met there. I also really enjoyed the morning yoga. I came for one little little week, I finally stayed two, and I know I’ll be back ! Can’t wait to meet you again ♥️

Aura Pottery was EXACTLY what I imagined, if not better. Easily the best decision for my 3-0 birthday!!! From the food, to the space, to the kind of women Aura attracts, you can absolutely tell Andy & Anya have built this place with so much intention. The aura truly attracts the people it’s meant to. We walked in as strangers and spent the evening hanging out like long-lost girlfriends. And if that’s not enough, you actually learn pottery the best way possible!!! i.e with patient mentorship, lovely staff, the sweetest dogs, and so much greenery around you. One of the most wholesome and cherished evenings I’ve had in a long time :)

I did a two week pottery course at Aura pottery in Chandigarh recently and boy I hit a jackpot. !! It was one of the most rewarding experiences I had . The place, the course , the people and the four legged friends ( 4 very friendly dogs and many cats on the property) , everything is just so adorable. Anuja and Aanya put their heart and souls in making this retreat a memorable experience for the participants. A big thank you and hug to them. I’m definitely coming back!!
